Dream Layout ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Instead of a photo, I decided to feature the Dream Cling Mounted Stamp from Red Rubber Designs, on this layout that's mostly colored with LSG Magicals.

     The main image was stamped with black permanent ink onto watercolor paper colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals (Drop Dead Gorgeous Green, Sassy Sapphire, and Prima Donna Purple). I used every stamp in the set, fading some of the flower stamps into the background. Then I applied Mermaid Stickles to the darker stamping, and Purple Stickles to the purple cardstock underneath.

     For even more shimmer and sparkle, I machine stitched around the image using metallic specialty threads in purple and teal.

     I used the same Magicals to color an old piece of lace, and glued it to black cardstock that I punched and added Black Diamond Stickles to.

     Except for the purple roses, I also used the same Magicals to color the flowers, including some Petaloo DIY ones, and added some buttons in between.

     Then I used purple, black, and green sheer ribbons across the bottom half of my page, to let the lace show through. The background is a teal cardstock that I applied Turquoise Stickles to, and is much more vibrant and teal than the photos show.

     Thanks so much for looking!

Hearts Thank You Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     I just heart my new Magical's by Lindy's Stamp Gang! I ordered them on accident, as I thought I was getting the sprays, and almost returned them when they came in the mail, but my curiosity took over, and I decided to give them a try. Now I must have them in all colors! Lol! That's what I was afraid of! Lol! Little magical jars of powder that I'm still learning how to use. But the very first thing I tried, of course, was stamping. With just a little bit of powder mixed with water, I applied them onto some hearts from the I Heart You stamp set from Red Rubber Designs, and just stamped them onto white cardstock that was misted with some blues first. I was really surprised at the intensity of the colors, and had so much fun creating this card!

     My design inspiration came from this awesome sketch used for this month's Card Challenge at Scrapbook.com.

     I also used my Magicals to stamp the arrow using the Elegant Arrows stamp set. Then I embossed "Thank You", and used Palette Inks for the rest of the sentiment. I was so happy to find that this fiber matched the colors perfectly, so I used it as a border, then added some machine stitching, twine, and a button to finish it up. It was so quick and easy to do!
